Update On My Hiatus And For My Page.

10 songs, 10 people

I was tagged by @k--havok to do this tag! Thanks for taking me in this. I'll tag @elizaellwrites @dragonedged-if and @sabrina-author as well as an open tag for anyone else who would like to do this tag.

Rules: put your library on shuffle and post the first ten songs, then tag ten people

I have a playlist that contains most of the music I listen to nearly every day when I go out to do something and very often when I do other things at home. This is a full list of songs that I have in separated playlists depending on how I feel or in the mood for. It doesn't contain all the songs I listen to, but it's just what I have downloaded on my phone. Also, as something who loves a good bassline in music, a lot of the songs I have contain a good bassline. I'll put a 🎸 next to the songs that have this next to the songs below.

Riot by Three Days Grace 🎸

Rebirthing by Skillet 🎸

Believe by Hollywood Undead

Gone Forever by Three Days Grace 🎸

So far gone by Thousand Foot Krutch

The phoenix by Fall Out Boy 🎸

Boulevard of broken dreams by Green Day 🎸

One more light by Linkin Park

One step closer by Linkin Park 🎸

Sound of madness by Shinedown 🎸

Find the Word Tag

Thank you for tagging me in this @foxys-fantasy-tales. I'm going to look through a recent chapter for this tag from J&E.

Forever

N/A

Important

“Probably a question out of nowhere,” he began, “But you know where I try to get some of my important documents?” 

“I don't have all of the resources I would like to fully help with that,” They started, hoping their information was useful. “But I do know a good starting point.”

“That’s fine and I can go off of that. Also, I’m sorry for being clueless with getting my documents.”

Daunting

After all, it would only be a longer and more painful road ahead if he were to fall backwards in his progress. Even if progress isn't linear, that wouldn't be good for him in any way. Still he had a daunting path ahead of himself they hoped would be easily traveled if they could be able to help.

Brave

N/A

I will tag @k--havok @athenswrites for this. Your words are

direct, control, envy, and dark

Oc questions tag

I was tagged by @k--havok to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me! I will tag @elizaellwrites and will leave an open tag for anyone else who wants to do this as well. I'll leave a copy of the questions at the bottom.

For this, I will use Evander from my WIP since they are my favorite out of the characters I have currently and a lot of my thinking revolves around them. Also, they are the one who lives rent free in my head the most out of all my characters and they tend to be the first one I think about when I get an idea.

5 words to physically describe your OC

Intimidating, androgynous, tattooed, gentle, adaptable.

Who inspired your OC?

No one inspired Evander from where I can think of. I just drew them sometime early last year along with some other characters and I had an idea about what their character was like that went on from there.

Give me a song to define your OC

Going to bend this one a little bit as they have two that reflects their character. I'll add some information about how it works with them as well.

Back off, I'll take you on

Headstrong to take on anyone

I know that you are wrong

Headstrong, we're headstrong

Back off, I'll take you on

Headstrong to take on anyone

I know that you are wrong

And this is not where you belong

I can't give everything away

I won't give everything away

They're very headstrong and stubborn that this fits perfectly for them. They won't back down from something they know they can help and will go until the end of it. This also goes for what they've experienced already with Marla when helping Jet and dealing with her case.

How can I sleep at night? There's a war inside my head

I found a lion hidden right beneath my bed

I will not hide myself from the tears that you have shed

--

But tomorrow is tomorrow, so forgive me if I stay

You can hide beneath the covers while I hide behind the pain

After all, only so much we can say

Words can lose their meaning once you walk away

Promise that you love me, watch me as I fade

I'll give you all those things that these liars never gave

The hands on the clock and the things we cannot change

Tear it all to pieces and take back what I made

If there's one thing I'd keep, it's you that I would save

'Cause I am just a lion, and a lion I will stay

This is more of their hidden anxious side they don't outwardly show others and is heavily reflective on themself. They don't have anxiety about their entire character, but a part of their personal identity they've been secure in for years.

^^ have to keep some secrets here as this will have it's own chapter in the future.

If I met your OC on the street how would they greet me?

Evander is open to new people and would have a small conversation with you if you wanted. If it's a simple "Hello, how are you?" they would respond and ask you the same. They're friendly with people they don't know or know well, so you'll generally get a friendly interaction. If you're someone they don't like and are on their bad side, good luck getting them to speak to you unless they're stepping in to help someone.

Can your OC be your best friend? Why?

Evander is overall a warm and gentle person, but their intimidating side can be a little scary. They won't harm you in any way and would prefer themself to get harmed instead, but if you didn't know that it's a bit off-putting. On the other side of things, they are one of the gentlest people who will be there to help you. They are also very patient and understanding with people, within reason if the other isn't wanting to anything and having them do everything. Ultimately, I'd say there's a good chance we might.

Last Line Tag

Thank you @thewritingautisticat for tagging me in this! I've managed to work a bit on the next chapter for J&E and this is the beginning part of the chapter.

Scrolling through the catalog for another movie to put on for background noise as he worked on his song for the music venue’s competition and putting one on, he heard his phone go off with his social’s message tone. Who would be messaging him at this time? Unlocking his phone he hoped it was Averi as he liked talking to his friend and could probably use a break until Evander came back home.

Reading the unread message it was from Liber McCoy. His now ex-boyfriend. What he messaged him wasn’t an apology for what he did, but rather the opposite as if he were taunting him from across the country at his college. It read like he was pleased with his actions and not knowing if Jet was safe or not afterwards abandoning him with no way back on his own.

Being in the situation he was in, he almost forgot about Liber and all the emotions from that day flooded back as he blocked and threw his phone away from where he sat. He didn’t have time or the mind space for any of his bullshit that he threw his way. Curling up on the floor, he tried to forget all the pain he inflicted on him so callously as he ignored the tv, his bass, the notebook and pen, letting it all go into the background of his mind.

I will tag @k--havok @foxys-fantasy-tales @fracturedfable @athenswrites and I'll leave an open tag!

Your WIP in ao3 tags

I was tagged by @sabrina-author to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me in this! I'll tag @k--havok and @elizaellwrites as well as leaving an open tag for anyone else who wants to do this tag.

These are from my current WIP I'm working on Jet and Evander.

Was working on a bit of planning for my WIP (J&E is the new working title, previously Jet and Evander) and I have come to the realization that I am not working on a single book as it somehow turned into a trilogy. No idea how it happened, but with how much goes on in the plot, this works out better. Now I have to figure out how to work with trilogies as I work on my WIP and plan it out a bit more.

Side note, I do have another tag game going up in a bit.

Heads up, seven up tag

I was tagged by @k--havok to do this tag. I'll tag @sabrina-author @elizaellwrites to do this tag.

From the WIP where Evander goes to work while Jet is left at the apartment.

Right now he didn’t feel like playing very much and hasn’t played really since he had his silver bass either. He decided to put a movie on the tv and try to find something to eat later on. Maybe later on he would look up places around the area to visit.

The movie he picked was a part of a duology and ended up watching the second after the first finished its run time. Looking up the movies for more information about them, he found out that they were adaptations of an old fantasy novel.

Finding the novel in question, it was published about a decade before he was born and had reasonable popularity after its publication. However, it never had the popularity the movies received and seemed to fade into a bit of obscurity.

Longish post with a few updates.

Kinda disappeared for a bit during oc kiss week due to life happening and didn't end up finishing up the event. Everything's going well otherwise behind the scenes and I've have had a wonderful life development as well.

As for my WIP J&E I've had some great character development planning for some of the characters and working on some chapters as well. A bit of information on that is one of my characters has been developing quite interestingly and it's becoming clear that they are my favorite character out of everyone. Who that is, I can't say as it'll be too much of a spoiler.

Though, when I do talk about this character with others in my personal life I'm told that they're my favorite because of how much I talk about them. I use to think they weren't as I would joke saying that they're the golden child, but now I see it and I have to agree with those who told me that.

However, on an activity related note, I will soon be attending college and have less free time than I do now. I'm so happy to have this opportunity for myself as I get to pursue one of my passions after so long. Just working on getting some things into place currently.

I will still be doing any tag games and posting what I normally do during that time when I get a chance to. Because of this, I might be late getting it done.

In terms of writing being posted on here, I would like to experiment with different genres other than what my WIP J&E is, such as horror, fantasy, or something else I feel like experimenting with.

Last line w/a Twist tag

I was tagged by @dragonedged-if to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me in this. I will tag @faeveries @elizaellwrites @k--havok and @sabrina-author to do this tag!

This is from the same Wip that takes place after Our first meeting.

And something that he didn't have to make himself sounded like a dream with the little desire he had for doing much at the moment.

Thank you for tagging me in this @elizaellwrites! Love the questions you gave me and I will be using four characters from my WIP J&E.

More under the cut.

What is your favorite/most precious object?

Jet: My most precious object? It's my silver bass that Evander gifted me. *Smiling so big at the thought of them* To me it's so much more than an instrument as it is a physical token of their love at this point. And don't even think of harming it or else.

Evander: I don't really have a physical object that's my favorite or most precious, but I do consider music Jet plays and creates my favorite. I don't care what anyone says about that one. *Smiling as they say this*

Gunnar: I have a fluorite crystal tree I think is beautiful and have it on my desk for decoration. What? Who said lawyers are boring people who can't like beautiful things?

Marla: I have a croton plant I have in the backyard and it's huge. Took a while to do but it's impressive and I love it.

Who are your best friends/closest allies?

Jet: My best friends in life are Averi and my partner, Evander. My other friends are Ainsley, Aria, Elliott, Felix, Samantha, and Jasper.

Evander: Jet is my best friend even though he's my partner, but I think it's wonderful to have your partner be your best friend. As for my friend group, I have my two friends from college, Samantha and Jasper, and Jet's friends, Averi, Ainsley, Aria, Elliott, and Felix. Though out of his friends, I get along best with Averi, Aria, and Ainsley.

Gunnar: Just a few work colleges that I have close relationships with outside of work and my law firm partner.

Marla: Just some friends I have online from a few years ago I made when I was younger and hung out with often. Like to keep in touch that way.

Do you have any obsessions?

Jet: I think it's music and things that go into music production, but a certain someone says it's caffeine. Don't know why, I just have four bags of coffee and a large box of energy drinks I enjoy.

Evander: Have you seen my cabinet? It's tea. I love it and I'm a self proclaimed tea addict.

Gunnar: You want to know what the best type of coffee is for your taste, I'm the one who can tell you. I've tried a lot of different coffees to know what the differences are.

Marla: Landscaping designs are my thing and why I have a half complete degree in it. It's so beautiful and interesting that you can't help but love.

What's your family like?

Jet: *silence and slowly blinking* Can we go to the next question? I hate talking about this and I don’t want to either. Don’t care for any of it at all and want to forget about it all.

Evander: My family is very warm, accepting, and supportive. We are close knit and even though my sister and I are eight years apart, we’re very close and she looks to me as a role model which I’m honored to hold that position in her eyes.

Gunnar: I work a lot and I would love to have more time away from work to be with my family and son. But from what I hear, everything is going well and is when I’m there, so I’m glad and happy with that knowledge. Plus I will be able to have more time with them one day.

Marla: It’s very quiet and easy going. Can’t say that anything is going wrong with it and things are going well. Nothing to complain about.

Do you look up to anyone in particular?

Jet: I've always liked Salem from Ravenge and her demeanor, as well as being one of my favorite bassists who influenced me. She's truly one of the best and is an advocate for so many things that she is a certified badass.

Evander: Those who use their skills and voice to do good in the world on the behalf of others. It doesn't matter what their skill is that allows them to have a big enough voice, as long as they have that, I hold those people in high standing.

Gunnar: I wouldn't say look up to as much as I admire these types of people; those who overcome their difficult circumstances and come out on top despite everything. Those people have a drive few possess and that in of itself is highly admirable. So I suppose you could say I look up to those people by my reasoning.

Marla: I don't have anyone who I look up to as I don't care for that sort of thing. It's nothing to me and I won't bother.

I’m going to tag @kcooper95, @foxys-fantasy-tales, @fracturedfable, and @k--havok
